The Falkland Palace tennis court was built in 1539 for James V and is the oldest in Britain. The Falkland court was restored in the 1890s and is the only active real tennis court without a roof. It is believed to be the only jeu quarré court in the world. The main differences from the jeu à dedans court are that it has penthouses on only two sides instead of three, and four window-like apertures (lunes) at the service end walls.
